BWGF emphasizes the study of Black women, gender, families and communities. The journal welcomes research and theoretical submissions in history, sociology, anthropology, social psychology, education, economics, political science and English that are framed by Black Women's Studies perspectives and a policy or social analysis. Interdisciplinary, comparative and transnational studies of the African Diaspora and other women, families and communities of color are also encouraged. The journal coverage dates back to 2009 (Vol. 3) through the current issue.
